leaving trailer on site

Slide in...(if you have one)

Turn water heater off.

Leave a contact number with office.

It's not at a CG. It's in the back yard of an empty house we had rented. We are going back and forth to fix all the damage the renters left us. I turned off water supply and pump. Gas is on in case power went out, fridge could still run, but I forgot to turn off the water heater. I didn't drain water just drained pressure off. How much trouble am I in?

I would shut down the fridge. After taking perishables out, may not be much to keep cold for a month.

We will be there every weekend making house repairs. Figured I could leave clothes and some food, that would still be good.
Wondering if I'm going to fry the water heater? Should still be full of water, doesn't have an electric element.
Learned a valuable lesson. Turn off gas at the tank. DUH. Well it's our first time ever leaving it. It's always at a CG with us in it, or in our backyard. Till now.

Why would you leave the windows cracked and Damprid inside the trailer? i would leave the windows closed IMO.

WH will be OK........it's full of water and burner will cycle on/off but as long as no water leaks it'll just waste some propane.

If you are going to leave food in fridge....leave fridge on gas and just turn WH OFF when you leave.

If your going to be there every weekend then leave the fridge on and the windows closed with the Damp Rid. It will stay drier inside that way.

Thanks for the good advice and opinions. I hope the WH survives till Friday. I'll certainly try closing the windows. Does that hold true in south Florida? Gets kinda warm here. It's running 85 during the day now and fairly dry. Rainy season starts in a couple months. Opinions are greatly appreciated.

If you have electric I would leave A/C on set the thermostat at 80 to 85 and it will help control the humidity.
